Tractor Girls Beat Bridgwater to Return to Top
Sunday, 6th Mar 2022 17:06

Ipswich Town Women returned to the top of the FA National League Southern Premier Division as Anna Grey’s goal saw them to a 1-0 victory over Bridgwater United at Fairfax Park.

Grey netted in the 22nd minute having been played in by Natasha Thomas.

The win moves the Tractor Girls back ahead of Oxford at the top of the division, the U’s having won in midweek but not in action today.

Oxford host third-placed Southampton, who beat Crawley Wasps 2-0 in the semi-finals of the League Cup this afternoon, on Wednesday.

Town: Quantrill, Hughes, Peake, Smith, Lafayette, Grey (Hubbard 46), Horwood (c), Robertson, King (O’Brien 79), Barratt, Thomas. Subs: Meollo, Boswell, Bryant.

Len_Brennan added 09:23 - Mar 7 I think even winning this league isn't enough, as the winners play off against the winners of the Northern version to decide who goes up.

OzzieOsbourne added 10:12 - Mar 7 Len Brennan, you are correct. Winning the Southern League only gets you a play off against Northern League champions for promotion to Women's Championship.

Edmundo added 13:22 - Mar 7 Ridiculous really, as Ipswich and Saints are streets ahead in more than just points. I'm sure there's room for 3 up and 3 down, with Champions promoted and 2nd places playing off. Still, we are top, and hope Oxford draw with Southampton on Wednesday.

Edmundo. Dont think town and Southampton are streets ahead of "everyone" else. Look at Oxford. Same number of wins as us, with a game in hand. There's no way u could have 3 up 3 down. Not enough teams in the leagues to warrant that. Even in the wsl, only 1 team go down and 1 go up from the championship. While it's great how well the girls have done this season, I fear that with 6 games in hand, it's likely Southampton will finish top. Tho much could depend on the league game against them at home.
